We continue on from the Crows total demolition of my up-and-coming Swans then move to the Melbourne/Geelong game. The Cats, list-wise, underperformed a touch in the home-and-away season, losing to Essendon and Collingwood and only beating 1 team in the 8 (Sydney) coupled with mostly unconvincing wins against lesser opponents. Forever it’s been the big...

AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – ADELAIDE v SYDNEY
After a late season charge, the Swans run out of juice Saturday night and like we always knew, showed the gaping hole between the top 4 (now the top 5!) and the rest of the AFLW. While still in only our 2nd season in existence, the loss of our ruck and main forward target hurts...
10 TRAINING ACTIVITIES VOLUME 2
I did one of these a while back which are training activities I have in my files simply sitting there as I accumulate them quicker than I post them so here’s another 10 you can use on day 1 of pre-season! ROV OFF COACHES BAG 3 groups at each end with the middle player starting...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GEELONG v ESSENDON
The writing was a bit on the wall for the Bombers after losing to a Gold Coast without their best player last week and they just lost form at the wrong time of the season. They’re still a a couple of players on every line away from really competing at the top end of the...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GOLD COAST v SYDNEY
Gold Coast were in hot form going into this one on their home deck with a definitive win against finalist Essendon without their best player in the last round of the season to clinch a finals berth themselves. They still had Whitford, Drennan and Single in the midfield, ruck dominance as the Swans have gone...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – ADELAIDE v BRISBANE
Brisbane are a bloody well-oiled unit and now they’ve shown a form of resilience and grit that they’ve never really had to before, after losing to the Saints in Melbourne and then beating the Demons comfortably in the last round of the season, to beating ladder leaders Adelaide on their home deck in the first...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – SAINTS NOT USING OVERLAP RUN, BLUES D50 ‘MARE, TIGERS FORWARD LINE
We’ve got 4 last clips to finish off round 10, the final round of the season 2023. We look at: St Kilda’s Grace Kelly using great overlap run and even though theĀ Saints to utilise it, they are still able to transition the ball from defensive 50 to deep forward 50, mark and goal. If...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE SEASON?
I’ve posted numerous clips of players/teams pressing in defensively from the front of the ball carrier/receiver, something Collingwood used to great effect to win the men’s premiership this past season. In AFLW, Geelong probably do more of it than any other team ans Sydney have introduced it a little bit this season as well but...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – WESTERN BULLDOGS v NORTH MELBOURNE
Looking at this game about a month ago and when North were flying and the Dogs were win less it looked like a forfeit would have been a better result, and then with the Dogs getting their first win last week against the Eagles, it’s like they got their win and they’ll drop back to...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GOLD COAST v ESSENDON
With a finals spot on the line and missing their best player in Rowbottom, the Suns got it done against Essendon on Friday night, setting up an elimination finals against my Sydney Swans this coming Saturday night. I wasn’t sure if they could replace what Rowbottom does and that Maddy Prespakis would take over in...
